You simply don't get it!

Requesting the linux version of "just" that one single file of 211KB ist idiotic! Sorry, I can't say it in any other way.

Bye, ByeKurt

Valik seems to be speaking for the whole dev team, and has made it quite obvious that he thinks it would waste waaaay to much of his (and the dev teams) precious time to make a Linux version of a little 211kb file, even though it would be very useful and appreciated. Thus comes the conclusion of "lazy".

Idiot, that "little 211 KB file" is actually > 400KB uncompressed and it comes from nearly 2 MB of source code estimated at around 70,000 lines (Link here). That little file is where almost all the work we do on AutoIt goes. It's fair to say that little file is AutoIt. So learn something about software development before you open your idiot-hole again.

Edit: Found the link and the quote and added it in as well as another sentence.

For the record, I am not a developer. I am an amateur programmer/scripter and High School Student.

Autoit scripts run by using the autoit executable as a script host. A script host is something that reads a script and actually does what the script says because the script itself is simply text and a computer processor can't read your script directly. It needs a binary application to read it, interpret it, and tell the processor what to do. In this case, it is autoit.exe.

This means that the autoit.exe interprets what the script is saying and then calls system API functions and various other things to perform the task.

To give you an idea, the system functions for doing something on each operating system are about as different as a whale and an octopus.

As you can see, the simple task of creating a process is completely different for both operating systems.

The only way to port autoit to linux(you need to port autoit to linux in order to compile autoit scripts for linux) would be to completely re-write autoit from scratch and attempt to replicate all the functions it currently has now with linux which simply won't happen since linux doesn't even have the same operating system functions(API functions) as windows.

Therefore it just won't work. I hope that helps anyone who is confused about why you can't simply convert an autoit script to linux.

I hope that helps anyone who is still confused about this matter.

I sure hope the rest of the development team aren't like you Valik, because you always seem to come across as a class-A jerk. Try living life without that big chip on your shoulder, you might enjoy it and you'll attract more friends.

What makes you think I want more friends? Oh, I know, you're just another idiot who thinks they know how every single human being on the planet should be and since I don't fit that mold I'm something terrible and have problems and I should change to conform to your ridiculous standards, is that it?

What's so difficult to understand about this request? Those flamming it are taking it far to litteraly. Its scripting concepts are what could be transfered over to the Linux operating system. He wasn't saying I want my AutoIt3 code for windows to work on Linux. He was saying I would like to be able to control the linux operating system the same way as I can with AutoIt & Windows. Valik I suppose people like you are necessary to fuel those that will inevitably prove you wrong and for that I thank you.

Hey dumbass, I've said repeatedly the concepts won't translate over too well because it's a different operating system with different needs. I suggest you read, and comprehend.

Anyway, I'm locking this thread because idiots continue to want to comment in it despite the fact that we've said a few thousand times we're not going to do it. Not only that, it's in the sticky of things that won't be done so there's no reason to discuss it further.
